1 Samuel 12 : Samuel talks to people
Samuel addresses people after Saul's victory over the Ammonites.
He says he is old now and will not be their leader anymore. Moreover they have their king now.
He asks people if has ever oppressed them or taken anything from them. They all answer unanimously.
He reminds people that The Lord had always helped Israelites during their troubled times and they had sinned against the Lord by asking for a King. He says if they have sinned against the Lord, there will be thunder and rain and it happens on that day. People get scared. Samuel assures them that Lord has chosen their King and if the King and the people continue to obey the Lord faithfully with all their hearts, the Lord will continue to bless them and they don't have to be scared.
